This piece is an Art Deco Bohemian amber cut glass trinket box from around 1940. It’s a compact, round lidded jar measuring 2 inches high and 3.5 inches across, with a satisfying weight and a snug, ground rim. The honey-amber body is deeply cut into panels and finished with crisp wheel-engraved floral sprays across the sides and motifs on the lid. In near mint condition, the edges are clean and the patterns sharp, which is impressive for something 86 years old. It’s ideal for rings, cufflinks, or keepsakes, and it catches light beautifully on a dresser or shelf.

Bohemian glass refers to fine glassware made in the historic Bohemia region of today’s Czech Republic, long admired for thick-walled colored glass and skilled cutting and engraving. During the Art Deco era, workshops in Karlovy Vary and North Bohemia produced vanity boxes like this, often sold in sets with perfume bottles and powder jars and exported widely to Europe and the United States. The amber tone and cut-to-clear look, plus the floral wheel work, are hallmark touches. Surviving boxes in this size and near mint shape are fairly scarce, since lids and rims chip easily. Hand wash only and avoid harsh abrasives.
